my view on this is that publishers should stop it with the 80k wordcount obsession, so many contemporary non-fic books are obviously 40-50k pieces of work stretched to the extent that they become very boring to read - just let people write cheaper, shorter books! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

A woman wearing a headset is bathed in blue and red light with text that says Turtle Vision above her head

i can fix myself by simply dressing like Robin Williams in The Birdcage
always relevant
insisting to my coworkers that I saw Tilly Norwood order a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher from the Target Starbucks under an alias so as not to be recognized in public

it's nice that we're talking about natural light exposure as a fresh idea as if heliotherapy wasn't all the rage 120 years ago

gonna skip SOTU and hit up SirΔt in the big screen instead
Armageddon has the all time incredible bit of Bruce Willis calling the White House the White Horse
this doesn't mean anything. Elon Musk said Parasite was his favorite movie of the year. Amy Schumer loved Zone of Interest. Art contains no singular meaning, just many interpretations, including from people we don't like!
